CIM provider test tool should have little or dependency on a cimom IMO.

SBLIM Testsuite has a 'dependency' on wbemcli, which is a cimom-agnostic command-line client tool for performing CIM operations,
pretty much equivalent functionality to Pegasus CLI tool.

Perhaps that's enugh reason to go with SBLIM Testsuite? Certainly it lacks ability today to perform complex like scripted CIM
operations, but I'm not getting the impression cimtester provides significantly more in terms of functionality. Plus SBLIM Testsuite
is being used today for the automated testing of the various SBLIM provider packages going into SLES & RHEL...
